Walter Damasceno - Fum Fum & Parada Dura from Esse Norte É De Morte compacto duplo - Parlophone Portugal (1958)

This is the second Walter Damasceno EP to be featured on this blog. Damasceno released a two compacto duplos, an LP and a number of rare 78 rpm singles with exclusive material in Brazil. The first EP, Não Bula Comigo, was a Brazilian pressing on the Odeon label. The EP below, Esse Norte É De Morte, was issued on Odeon in Brazil and Parlophone in Portugal. You can compare the covers below. Although both versions are rare, the Portuguese pressing gives folks living outside of Brazil a better shot at owning this compacto duplo. The Portuguese sleeve for Esse Norte É De Morte was recycled for a few releases, including an EP by João Gilberto. The music is brilliant and fits in nicely with other well produced artists from the late 50s and early 60s, like Gordurinha, Luiz Wanderley and Tonico Do Juazeiro.
